How to Make a That Girl Environment: Your 10-Step Glow-Up Space Guide
You Wanna Be That Girl?
You’ve seen her on Pinterest, on TikTok, on every morning routine Reel ever: That Girl. She wakes up early, drinks iced coffee with oat milk, journals with pastel pens, and somehow her room looks like a page out of an aesthetic vision board.
But here’s the real tea — you don’t need to be perfect to feel like That Girl. It’s all about the vibe you create around you.
If your space feels fresh, cozy, and inspiring, you’re halfway there.
So, ready to design your own lazy-proof, dreamy environment? Let’s get into it. ????✨
Take your leap and take this printout if you like physical notes.
1. Declutter Like You Mean It
First things first: the That Girl vibe doesn’t work if your room looks like a tornado hit a thrift store. Take an hour (or just 10 minutes a day) to tackle the chaos.
- Throw away old receipts.
- Donate clothes you haven’t worn since middle school.
- Tidy your desk.
- Clean under your bed (you know there’s stuff lurking there).
A clutter-free space makes it easier to think, dream, and glow up. Plus, it feels so good to breathe in a room that isn’t screaming “HELP!” every time you walk in.
2. Let Natural Light In
Goodbye, cave vibes. Hello, sunny goddess.
Natural light is an instant mood booster and makes your space feel bigger and brighter.
- Open those curtains.
- Pull up the blinds.
- If your room’s a bit dark, hang mirrors to bounce the light around or add warm fairy lights for a cozy glow when the sun goes down.
Extra tip?
Wash your windows. You’ll be shocked how much brighter your room gets with clean glass. ✨
3. Add Little Green Friends
Plants = instant That Girl energy. They make any room feel alive, fresh, and grounded.
If you’re a certified plant killer, start with low-maintenance cuties like snake plants, pothos, or succulents.
Put one on your desk, one by your bed, maybe a hanging one in the corner.
Watching something grow reminds you that you’re growing too — cheesy but true. ????????
4. Keep a Cute Water Bottle Handy
Hydration is basically That Girl fuel. A cute reusable bottle isn’t just functional — it’s an aesthetic flex.
Fill it with water, toss in some lemon slices or mint if you’re fancy, and keep it within reach.
Every sip is a tiny self-care moment.
Plus, when your space has these healthy reminders sprinkled around, you can’t help but feel more put together.
5. Make Your Bed a Sanctuary
Your bed is not just a bed. It’s your recharge station, your Netflix den, your soft place to land after a long day of slaying.
So, upgrade it.
- Wash your sheets often.
- Fluff your pillows.
- Add a cozy throw blanket or two.
- Maybe some fairy lights above your headboard.
When your bed looks inviting, you’ll actually want to rest — and rest is peak That Girl behavior. ????
6. Curate a Calm Scent
Scents are powerful. They can flip your mood instantly.
Find a candle, incense, or diffuser that makes you feel calm and clean.
- Lavender for winding down.
- Citrus for an energy boost.
- Vanilla for cozy vibes.
- Light it during your journaling time, or when you’re winding down at night.
Pro tip: get a cute lighter or matchbox. It’s the tiny details, always.
7. Create a Mini Wellness Corner
Big spaces or tiny dorms — doesn’t matter. That Girl always carves out a tiny corner for her mind and body.
Lay down a yoga mat or cushion.
Keep your journal, a good pen, maybe your favorite playlist, ready to go.
Use it to stretch, meditate, or scribble your thoughts out before bed.
This doesn’t need to be Pinterest-perfect — it just needs to feel like your spot.
8. Keep It Aesthetic (But Real)
You don’t need to spend a fortune at IKEA or buy everything beige and white to be That Girl. The vibe is about what makes you feel good.
Love color?
Go wild with pastel storage boxes.
Obsessed with posters?
Make a mini gallery wall.
Prefer neutrals?
Go soft with cozy textures and muted tones.
Make your space a reflection of you — not a stranger on your feed.
Real > perfect.
9. Add a Tiny Routine Reminder
That Girl is all about the little daily rituals that add up.
- Keep sticky notes on your mirror with affirmations.
- Hang a cute calendar.
- Put a small basket for your skincare next to your bed.
Visual cues remind your brain that you’re in your glow-up era.
A simple “Drink water” post-it can do wonders when your brain forgets. ????
This is a digital planner here that might help every girl get their glow-ups.
10. It’s a Vibe, Not a Rulebook
And finally — remember that being That Girl is a vibe, not a competition. Your space should feel like a soft landing, not a Pinterest prison.
Some days your bed will be messy. Some days, the water bottle will be missing. It’s fine. The whole point is that your environment lifts you up, even on lazy days.
So open the window. Light the candle. Make your bed and toss a plant in the corner.
That’s it. You’re That Girl — your way. ????
Now go romanticize your room, one tiny change at a time. You got this, bestie. ????✨
Romanticize Your Reality
Your That Girl space isn’t about rules — it’s about creating tiny corners of calm that make your day feel softer, brighter, and more you.
Plant, a candle, or clean sheets? It all adds up.
So keep it real, keep it cozy, and keep glowing up at your own pace. Your vibe, your way.
